Volvo is a Swedish auto maker that has been manufacturing cars since the mid-1920s. The Volvo XC70, or Cross Country, is part car and part sport utility vehicle. Appearing as a station wagon, the XC70 has a high ground clearance and black wheel well extensions to protect the paintwork from flying stones and mud when traversing off-road. The XC70 debuted in 1998 and was still in production as of 2010. The XC70 comes standard with all-wheel-drive and an in-line six-cylinder engine. The cabin air-filtration system in your XC70 has the ability to filter dust, dirt and other particulates. Keeping your cabin air-filter element changed on a regular basis will insure the air you are breathing inside your passenger compartment is of good quality.
Open the front passenger door. Locate the plastic trim panel below the glove-box door near the floor courtesy light.
Remove the two screws from the plastic trim cover in a counterclockwise direction with a torx screwdriver. Set the screws aside. Rotate the circular locking fastener at the rear of the panel by placing a coin in the slot and turning it 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction.
Pull down on the plastic trim cover until the holding clips release and place it aside.
Locate the cabin air-filter housing revealed after removing the plastic trim panel.
Pull the cabin air-filter element from the housing and discard it.
Slide a new filter element into the housing, making sure to use the same orientation as the old filter.
Push the plastic trim cover into position on the lower passenger-side dashboard until the clips snap into place. Tighten the two screws with a torx screwdriver in a clockwise direction. Rotate the locking clip 90 degrees in a clockwise direction with a coin.
